  • A Night to Remember

    A Night to Remember

    About a week ago, Lowballers Japan came out to Cali for a little visit. We actually threw a small meet for them so they could get a feel of what the car scene is like out here. Unfortunately, I arrived to the meet on Filipino time so I wasn’t able to snap any pictures. A couple of days after the meet, we took the Lowballers out for the night. We decided on Past Memories in Garden Grove. It is a small Korean restaurant that serves bombdotcom Soju and pretty good Korean Food. This time, I had my camera with me, so I was ready to snap some pictures of the infamous Lowballers Japan, but stupid me got too buzzed to take pictures so I ended up forgetting to take my camera out (I’m sorry).

    Shortly after dinner, the Lowballers went back to their hotel because they had an extremely early flight the next morning. Vince and Yogi from Fatlace/Illest decided to come out and chill with us that night, and Vince brought out his Gangster of Gangsters Honda Odyssey. Nimo also came out that night and brought out his super dumped IS300. Since we were all together and Yogi also had his camera, we decided to do a photo shoot of Vince’s car and the rest of the cars that were there.

     We started the night off at a DIY car wash. Vince, looking sexy as fuck, washing his car.

     Minh tried to be sexy like Vince, but failed.

     Nimo decided to dump the shit out of his car so he could shit on June Choi…lol jk.

     Nimo now eats the pavement for breakfast.

     Minh thinking to himself, “mehhh, that was me two years ago.”

    My little sister DD for me that night, she’s awesome. Keep a look out for her STI this year. It’s going to be crazy.

    Yogi about to do some magic with his camera.

    Unfortunately all the pictures I took of Vince’s car came out like shit. All of them were super grainy or too dark. I messed around with one picture in Photoshop and this is what I came out with. Like I said before, this van is super gangster. I believe it is rocking a set of Work Meister’s s1R on one side and a set of SSr MS1 on the other side. Don’t quote me on it though because I am not 100 percent sure.

    Jeff came out that night as well, and brought out his RSX. This thing will always make you drool.

    Nimo and Young decided to park hard as fuck at the underground parking lot.

    Neel’s Accord has to be one of the most underrated and overlooked cars in the car scene. It definitely needs more publicity because his car is just neckbreaking!!

    Vinh’s new wheel set up 3 pc Work Meisters. So glossy.

    That pretty much sums up the night we had. Until next time, everyone!!

  • Lexus of Westminster | Summer Meet

    Lexus of Westminster | Summer Meet

    Kerry and Lexus of Westmisnter host an annual summer meet; it’s always a fun time when the Lexus community gets together. Things to expect at a Lexus meet/show are free food, free giveaways, raffles, and an LFA. The meet started at 10A.M., but I came at 12P.M. because my sleep schedule is so fucked up. When I got there, it was still packed with some really cool cars.

  • Thursty Thursday.

    Thursty Thursday.

    Water rolled down our faces, and our worst fears became reality when the rainy clouds appeared. All week long, the summer rays were shining bright as ever, but on the night of our meet, nature decided that it was thirsty for some rain. Hours before the meet, we were still debating whether or not we should have the meet or postpone it because at 9pm, the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms. Like all of our previous meets, we decided last minute that the meet would continue and we didn’t really care who came out because we had to get our Peach Me Sweatea fix. I rolled up early and to my surprise, there were already a gang of cars. I didn’t know there were people as down as us to kick it even during thunderstorms.

    Cars were constantly coming through; the Tastea lot was overflowing with rain and cars, so people started parking in the fire lanes and handicap zones.

  • Unusual Underground

    Unusual Underground

    Welcome to the GG Underground, a place for Royal Origin and friends to go to when we want to relax after enjoying a day with each other, and just want to shoot some cars to end the night. We met up with Chris Foreman and his friends from Ladera Ranch, and Jomar and Josh from Temecula/Murrieta at our favorite place, Tastea, before heading to our late night spot. Check out my video below and our pictures from that night.

    CRZ surprisingly had enough room in the trunk for two people to play cards in it.
